NOTICES

I always give fair ratings. If I recieve a swap from you I will give you a 5. If I really love something or it's extra special I will give you a heart too. I will not give a 3 unless there has been a problem and we have discussed it. I will only give a 1 rating if I have recieved nothing after giving many chances and I will change it when the situation changes.

I reuse packaging and other items as much as possible, not bacause I'm mean but because I think it's important to respect the planet. I would like it if people would send to me in reused packaging too.

THINGS I LOVE

CRAFTS SUPPLIES; Papers, ephemera, vintage items, origami papers, inks, rubber stamps (especially unmounted stamps), stickers, deco tapes, buttons, ribbons, wool and fibers, brads, charms, beads, fabric scraps.

POSTCARDS; B+W, vintage, sculptures, architecture, nature, buddhas, dragons, rabbits, faeries, magic, kawaii, cute, free ad, handmade. *I prefer them sent without envelopes and with real stamps if possible.

COLLECTIONS; Sylvanian Families/Calico critters, dragons, rabbits, Hello Kitty, buddhas, postcards, world coins, used postage stamps, used metal bottle caps, healing crystals, Japanese and Russian dolls.

** I am also happy to receive re-swapped, second hand or unwanted items, as long as they are in reasonable condition. If you do send me something I don't really like I won't rate you down for it, I'll just pass it on to someone else**

ABOUT ME

I am just returning to swapbot after a long break. I stopped swapping because I finally became pregnant and was too ill during the pregnancy to swap. Our wonderful daughter was born in July 2011, she has had some health problems so I am currently a fulltime Mum caring for her.

We still have our lovely house rabbit Mina who is now 6 and as cuddly as ever!

I love crafting and try to do a little bit everyday, it keeps me sane and has got me through some really tough times!

CRAFTS

I love paper, fabric and yarn crafts. I go through phases but among my favourites are stamping, cardmaking, scrapbooking, altering items, sewing, quilting and patchwork, embroidery, beading, collage and crochet.

I like to make; jewellery, cards, ATC's, skinny's, Moo's, inchies, match boxes, bottle cap shrines, softies, stuffies, felties, postcards, mail art, dolls house miniatures and much more!

Comment: I really hate to leave ones, but you told me some time ago that you were running late and it would be in the mail at the end of the week. Here we are almost a month late and you are still marked "unsent." I will be happy to rerate you when/if these arrive. I understand it was a larger swap (7 Skinnies), but we were given over a month to sign up and over a month to get it done. :(

Comment: Kathie, your pixar postie was a beaut choice! We had a similar exhibition in Melbourne either earlier this year or late last year...I didn't get to it, but I'm aware of the work they do. And thanks for the heads-up about yours coming late...I couldn't really care how long they take, as stuff from me to the States usually takes longer. You actually still beat one of my partners anyway... ;O)
Response: I am glad that you liked the card, it was a really interesting exhibition. Thanks for the rating :-}

Comment: She hasn't been on since June 28th. I messaged her on July 28th. I didn't get an answer. I will rate her if I ever get anything from her. Update: I got a postcard on Aug.17th. So changing the rating to a 3 because of the lateness.

As for user2637, she has appointed herself God and feels like she needs to poke her nose into everyone's personal business. I do not know her, nor do I want to. I have never swapped with her and owe her nothin. She has no right to make ANY comments about me one way or the other. Such a nasty, hateful person. How sad.

user2637 on Aug 4, 2013:

Heads up that user @cynaemon is back online and swapping. You may be able to get the the swap from a few years ago that you rated her a 1 for.
